Clean place with beautiful views

The property was very clean and a perfect place to spend a few days with friends and our dogs. Despite the heat wave, we were able to stay cool between the kitchen views and the tree covered deck. We also enjoyed exploring the lake.

Great stay for the weekend

Stayed here the weekend for a family reunion in the neighborhood. The views were beautiful. Place was cozy and quiet. Has most items you need (TP, trash bags, shampoo, even bug spray). Had a few issues and Al resolved as best he could with total understanding. He was really a great owner. If you love to cook, bring your own pot/pan.

Bliss on the Lake

This was our first time staying in Lake of the Woods and this was a great property to do it from! It was super convenient to the entrance area, well appointed and you can't beat the sprawling lake views. We spent so much time out on the dock fishing and having evening fires. My husband was even able to work thanks to the office set up with monitor and printer. The hosts were kind and responsive.

Had a great time

My family had a great time at Lake of The Woods. My kids particularly enjoyed the air hockey table in the basement. The lake was nice for kayaking and it's great having such easy access right from the back yard. House was comfortable and offered plenty of entertainment. We will definitely consider staying here again in the future.

It was nice to return to Locust Grove after being gone for 7+ years and thoroughly enjoyed staying at Life on the Lake. Plenty of room for entertaining in multiple spaces. The ping pong/air hockey table was a big hit.

Fantastic vacation

This is the perfect home for any kind of stay! Not only does this place have everything you need it also has things you didn’t even think you would need. Lake was great for fishing kayaking and swimming. There is plenty of room in the home for people to do their own thing if they want or do something together as a whole family. Definitely stay here if you get the chance.

Beautiful View of the Lake-Waterfront

We loved the fantastic view of the lake from the kitchen & living room in the morning with coffee and throughout the day! Very clean, comfy beds & well equipped kitchen. There's a theatre & game room downstairs (with another full bath) and full view of the lake through sliders. So nice to have the Adirondack chairs on the dock, shame the weather was cold! We would love to come again soon!

Lovely Vacation spot

We had a fabulous time at this lovely lake house. The home is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We all thoroughly enjoyed taking out the kayaks, floating in tubes, swimming in the lake, and just relaxing on the deck with the beautiful view of the lake! Al is a very responsive host and made sure we had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back next summer!

wonderful house and exceptional hosts!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful lakefront house. Al was very responsive to all my questions. He and his wife attended to all the details that would make guests comfortable. Features that stood out included the cleanliness of the house, the view of the lake from so many areas of the house, the wildlife on the lake, and the opportunity to kayak and fish from the property itself.

Everything you could ask for and more!

Excellent property that was very clean and had all of the amenities you would need for an enjoyable stay. It was well stocked with clean fresh bath towels, plenty of cooking utensils, plates and equipment for activities. We really enjoyed the kayaks and the hammock on the lake front. 5/5 would recommend and return. Al was very communicative and responded very quickly to any requests.

Lakeside Oasis

We absolutely loved our stay at Al’s property. There was so much to do, including kayaking, swimming, space for volleyball on the grass, a hammock to read in, board games, poker, ping pong table and air hockey. Not to mention the projector and dvd selection. We came for a weekend and brought our dog and cat and truly had such a wonderful time. The home is clean and extremely well-stocked. The beds are comfortable and the dock is in great shape. We took the kayaks out at least twice a day. We will definitely be back to stay again!
